Exodusters http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodus_of_1879 The
Exodus of 1879 (also known as the Kansas Exodus and the Exoduster Movement)
refers to the mass movement of African Americans from states along the Mississippi River to Kansas in the late nineteenth century,[1] and was the first general migration of blacks following the Civil War.[2] One of the most important figures of the Exodus was Benjamin "Pap" Singleton.[3] To escape the Ku Klux Klan, the White League and the Jim Crow laws which continued to make them second-class citizens after Reconstruction,[4] as many as forty thousand Exodusters left the South to settle in Kansas, Oklahoma and Colorado.[5]

pace of change in the next. The Soviet Union itself yet to come. China still to come."
Peter Jennings
